Cobalt MOF‐Based Porous Carbonaceous Spheres for Multimodal Soft Actuator Exhibiting Intricate Biomimetic Motions (Adv. Mater. 26/2024)

Abstract

Multimodal Soft Actuator In article number 2312340, Manmatha Mahato, Il-Kwon Oh and co-workers present cobalt metal-organic frameworks-based porous carbonaceous spheres (PCS) at the nanoscale, aimed at developing multimodal electro-ionic and magnetoactive soft actuators with expanded bandwidth and robust mechanical force. PCS-based actuators successfully demonstrate dynamic and complex robotic motions of a balancing bird and an eagle by simultaneously applying magnetic and electric field.
